From: Peter

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:

- All documents sent to the European Commission by member states since 1 January 2017, including but not limited to e-mails and their attachments, regarding the issue of 'dual food quality'
- All documents sent by the European Commission to member states since 1 January 2017, including but not limited to e-mails and their attachments, regarding the issue of 'dual food quality'
- All minutes of meetings with the European Commission since 1 January 2017 regarding the issue of 'dual food quality'
- All other European Commission documents since 1 January 2017, including but not limited to 'lines to take', intra-Commission e-mails and their attachments, regarding the issue of 'dual food quality'

I'm looking forward to receiving your reply.

All the best,
Peter Teffer

PS: I have noticed that the Commission sometimes send both a digital and a paper version by registered mail of your response. Please only send paper versions of your communication if you do not intend to send a digital copy. The physical mail always reaches me later than e-mail, so paper versions are environmentally wasteful and somewhat inefficient.
